Always, I can't see any scenario in which we loose. I know all the neutrals and media are going to be hoping for man city to get their first CL trophy but it isn't going to happen, we're going to piss everyone off in true chelsea fashion

Lol that is overconfident mate. We can certainly win but they are not a bad team are they and are in with every chance, especially given KdB loves popping up with worldies against us.

[axman2526]

For some reason I have a strong feeling for this line up tonight.

 

Kepa

 

Zouma

Silva

Emerson

 

James

Jorginho 

Gilmour

Chilwell

 

Zyiech 

Havertz

Mount

Nah not over confident, just in a little halfway zone I like to call pre-drunk 👍

But seriously though when we are favourites in finals we disappoint all Chelsea fans but when we are underdogs we piss everyone else in the world off

Good point, I didn't think about that, if we dont win tonight Leicester will be above us in the PL. And therefore in a convoluted way favourites. So we need to prioritize tonight more than we ever knew. @Eight Times name is at stake here

You're so fearful. If the players are fearful like u guys, they will not be winning football matches.

Based on recent selections the best line-up that will give adequete rest for Saturday and keep us strong enough to win are

Mendy

James Silva Zouma

CHO Gilmour Jorginho Chilwell

Mount Havertz Pulisic

[hephzibah]

For this match, I think Arsenal play a particular formation that may be difficult for us. I think they also play wing backs and they also have very strong midfielders, Xhaka and Partey.

Then I think I saw this their player, Odegaard. I think the guy is good. Together with Lacazette and Aubameyang. So we have to be ready for them.

For our attack, we should play Werner, Pulisic and Mount. Then Jorginho and Kante in the Midfield. Wing backs- James and Chillwell. Aspi, Silva and Rudiger in defence.

Who says I'm fearful? I was being accused of being the exact opposite

Are you sure your not a gooner? Or even just a goon? - god I havent heard that as an insult since I was in secondary school. I like it

If u don't agree with me, even though Arsenal have being having problems, they still find a way of winning us in recent matches. And I'm trying to analyse their team, so that we know what we are expecting, and know how to set up for them.

[CFCCAN]

3 points or nothing.  Need get this game done an dusted early and out Arsenal in their place. Can't be beaten today.

Sure we can be, we just really should not be.

Yeah we do have a tendency to f**k about too much when we play Arsenal but I think we are in a better place tactically than we were on Boxing Day.  Just don't see us losing this game unless we have a WBA meltdown.

[Zaphod2319]

One of my best friends is a Gooner. I love him like a brother anyway. We always have FB avatar bets on these derbys and cups. He has been so discouraged by their play under Arteta that he has not asked for the usual bet. I don't feel like kicking him while he is down either. The Europa Final was fun to watch with him a few years ago. He was a sport and wore a Chelsea logo on FaceBook until the next preseason started.

Yeah exactly. The West Brom game shows it is possible if we do boy have our heads on straight.

[Gol15]

This is not a must win, finally some pressure is off but it would be really nice to win anyway since it's a derby. 

[General]

Tickle will rotate again but so far that doesn't seem to stop the team performing  well, however keepers don't usually need a rest so lets keep Mendy between the sticks for all of the remaining fixtures please, my one overreaching desire today is to see Chelsea put another nail in Arsenal & Arteta's coffin. Lets not forget that surprise loss last Year at the Camel Dome that set into motion the the 'losing/ awful form streak'  which culminated in  a sacking in our camp. So F the Gooners a mid table club, with a mid table manager and the same 2 bob mid table ambitions.

[Itsintheblood89]

I want Havertz to start tonight. I fancy him to cause a few problems. 3-1 Chelsea

I hope the team don't go out with that attitude Gol. I'd say we go all out to win this one as it probably secures CL next season. It will remove any pressure from next week. Even better if ManU beat the Scouse tomorrow,  we can happily play out a draw against Leicester knowing both of us have qualified.

[Hessleboink]

Wonder if Odoi has earned a start here? Odoi, Giroud, Pulisic?

3 should be enough, Giroud is a very handsome man after all. 

[Zaphod2319]

Someone has to have an early peek at the starting XI!

[The Don Antonio]

Kepa zouma and gilmour start
